The Richness of Number Theory
1:18:32 - 1:22:59 (04:26)
The Fermat problem was a major breakthrough in number theory, resulting in the development of incredible richness in the field. Clever methods have been used to solve equations like this, including Andrew Wiles and Richard Taylor's proof of the theorem.
